What are the chances of baby coming early??

[LittleMum]

Does anyone know how likely this is???

This is my first baby, haven't really had any complications except raised blood pressure last week, bad back ache and braxton hicks.

OH is going on a fishing trip next week when I'll be 35 weeks, should I be worried?? And if so, how worried?

every on is different but i think generally people tend to go overdue with their first..but then there's people that go early so i dont no..i went two weeks over with my first

Are u dilated?

I have no idea! Lol. Guess not?!

I was three days over with my first.

Easier said than done, but try not to stress about it. They are pretty good with due dates nowadays. Chances are you'll go over as it's your first anyway.

sorry don't really know either as this is my first! Everyone is different though,i would love to go on time too

Statistically, you have a 40% chance of going early, 5% chance of going on your due date and 55% of going late--at least according to my mw. That's for first-timers I think.

My MW thinks I will go early because of the size of bub; but you might go early you might go late; depends on when bub wants to come!

Impossible to know - but almost all babies are born between 37-42 weeks so you would be in a small percentage to have LO arrive before that. Especially with your first!
That said, you can't really predict it - my son was born at 35+6 and he was my first! OH was 5 hours away when I went into labour! xx
